espacially Gmail.
What’s keeping them from doing the X update?
Even my country’s news site is X updated.

All iOS efforts has been de-prioritized until Pixel Buds and Pixel2 issues are resolved.

I presume...

I dont think the teams that are working on Pixel Buds and phones are the same as the ones dedicated to optimize and update their existing apps.

Better answer: They have no reason to rush it. It's working fine as-is, and still being used by many. Or not, since many people may also be using other mail clients. Fixing or improving Gmail app when it's not broken does not benefit them in any way.

Full-screen Google maps would be nice, but a larger display doesn't really add much to the overall functionality.

I’m guessing that Google plans to keep their apps attractive to iPhone so we don’t stop using them.

I don’t use any Google apps, but have a gmail account. I logged into YouTube on Safari the other day (I rarely do that) and quickly received an email titled, “[real name], your new Apple iPhone doesn't have the latest Google apps”

“Welcome to Google on your new Apple iPhone

Based on your Google Account activity, we recommend using these apps to stay organized, collaborate, and keep your account secure.”

They suggested GMail, Google Photos, and Google Maps.

Google Docs app was updated with X support. My guess is other google apps will follow shortly.

Looks like more and more Google apps have been updated, Hangouts being the latest one.
